Hello and welcome. I'm not a Podium user, but have you already tried to ask in Podium's forum? Please use english here.

I was supporting your statement about OBJ. OBJ is my preferred format too. I've imported 3DS before and it often contains too much geometry and takes longer to import compared to the cleaner OBJ version. 3DS often has errors too, as you clearly illustrated above.

Many thank for all ! It's just what I needed

thanks for the reply's guys. Ill look into them when i get a chance

@alexandre sk said: I think it's the displacement map. in general options disable displacement to try. yes! that did it! thank you very much

@orei said: Hi my friends, i've a question for you.. i'm a noob.. and i can't understand why have theese artifacts in my render. The texture over the wall is only one.. but how you can see isn't uniform.. and.. the reflection over the car give some problem. i use standard vray options for external, MAXIMUM LEVEL.. so.. for hq image.. but nothing change.. thanks my friends!! try checking sub-pixel mapping in the color mapping rollout. it usually does the trick for me.

If you see it stall out like that, it's likely that the XMLDRSpawner is frozen or has crashed. This needs to be running in the background, in order for RT to work properly. You can check that by looking in the task manager on Windows, or the activity monitor on OSX. I would suggest killing that process and then running it again, just to make sure that it's not frozen.

I can only recommend Silo. Sure, it hasn't been updated in years, and yes, there's some long-standing bugs in there, but, really, whenever I open Silo, I go ahhhh. "Whenever I open Silo, I go ahhhh." Not a bad slogan. Copyrighted!

Actually, If you have SketchUP 2014 (or an educational version), you can purchase an educational trial of VRAY for SketchUP from Novedge, here: http://www.novedge.com/p/8841 It's $138, compared to the $700+ commercial version. Good luck!

@matheos said: I'm not sure both plugins will bite each other. Does anyone know if this is possible? yes. it is possible they will bite each other... but if you turn them both off, using the SCF plugin, then turn them on ONE at a time you should be OK to test... john

... that looks like an email from v-ray.com? Am I correct? That isn't the company that makes V-Ray for SketchUp, they're a reseller.

And AO or without lights where you can woalk also! [image: lightup5.jpg]

like I see it as a digital updating of the white foam-board block model for clients that just can't 'see' 3d in even the best hand or digital 2d drawings or 3d models... Ideal for people who can't 'model make' catering to people who can't 'visualise' in 3d... there are a lot of both... best of all, no scalpels required... and you can always print you own 'non conforming' additions, so it's more like lego on steroids... john

I'm not saying there's no workaround - it's just that this effects regular groups in a model, not just when you make a proxy. I think best practice when modeling is to not add material properties to top-level groups, only low level groups or faces only.

I tried out the new version of LightUp. To be able to switch to a section during a walkthrough is really great! It helps the clients to understand the design and looks nice as well. [image: WLNA_lightUp_section.jpg]

In my very honest and humble opinion, 1.49.01 is just not a great rendering plug-in. 2.0 and moving forward is where you want to be. Stop killing yourself with that bug-ridden version and update as soon as you can!

You can definitely try what njay suggested, but it would help the community to know what version of Vray you are using as there have been bugs in earlier editions that have since been fixed.

Maybe you can also do the entiere face from the beginning if you use an half one as a copied inversed component ? When you modified one of them the other will be modified too! That works of course also with the Vertex tool! [image: uDfz_mirror.jpg] PS (for inverse a component you can edit it by a Scale -1 in a specific direction)

Hi, sorry for that...not happen again since I am a newbie here...it has been replied to the other thread..please close this one if you dont mind.
